- Work in batches – Depending on your air fryer size, smaller batches give the best results.
- Coat while warm – Toss donut holes in cinnamon sugar right after cooking so it sticks perfectly.
- Try different coatings – Glaze them, drizzle with chocolate, or dust with powdered sugar for fun variations.
